Lunch Talk: A Discussion on Citizenship



I had fun during lunch today. I sat with some Sixth Graders and they told me that their last class was Social Studies. We had a lively discussion on citizenship. I was told that one can become a Filipino citizen either by birth or by naturalization. We had several combinations of parents and different examples of ways one can become a Filipino.

Then I asked, "If you had a chance to be born again, what citizenship would you like to have?" Angela said, "Filipino, of course." Karl said he wanted to try out something new and be Canadian. Karen said she wanted to be Korean. I guess this is because of the Korean shows she sees on TV. Then Clifford said, "I want to be Chinese." I asked him why. He said, "I like noodles!" :)
